IntelliShield City Mode Default
City Mode Default
makes three levels of
Audio Alert
suppression available when
you toggle from
Highway

City
mode. The factory setting is City X.
City X
sounds a single beep when an X band signal is first detected.
The alert then sounds when signal strength reaches level 3.
City X+K
combines the City X mode with prevention of K band audio
alerts until the signal strength reaches level 2.
City X Beep Off
blocks all X band audio alerts until the signal strength reaches
level 3.
The City Mode Default can be changed in Menu mode. It can also be changed at
any time the detector is in Standby mode:

IntelliMute Mode
IntelliMute
is a unique feature that allows you to avoid alerts you don’t need to hear
because you are stopped or moving slowly. By sensing the “revs” (RPMs) of your
engine, IntelliMute knows when you are at low speed and automatically mutes alerts
(except for strobe signals from emergency vehicles). It works with all City and Auto
Mute modes.
Before IntelliMute will work, you must set an activation point for your engine’s revs
(see page 18). Whenever the revs are below that point, IntelliMute will begin muting.
The activation point will be stored in memory and recalled each time the power is
turned On. The factory setting is IntelliMute Off.
An IntelliMute icon will appear in the display when IntelliMute is On and activation
is set. Whenever engine revs are below the activation point, the arrow points down.
When revs are above the activation point the arrow points up.
If, for any reason, the unit stops sensing your engine’s revs, IntelliMute will indicate
an error and automatically turn Off.
NOTE
IntelliMute may not work with some vehicles because it cannot sense the engine’s
revs. In such cases, you can reduce unwanted audio alerts by using Auto Mute and
City mode when appropriate.
NOTE
The rev point must be reset if you use your detector in a different vehicle.
NOTE
When initially choosing your IntelliMute activation point, a setting of approximately 300
to 600 RPMs above idle is recommended. You can reset the activation point at any
time to fit your individual preferences and driving style.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to set the rev point while driving. Your vehicle should be parked and
idling to avoid a collision during the process.
